    Referral Commission fee, what is reasonable?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    So I'm going to potentially be in business with someone that I know and they will be giving me some clients but from what I can tell the proposed commission structure is a percentage wise of the current retainer that I charge every month and seems to go into perpetuity which seems excessive. My...

    A weird rut I've been stuck in for years

    MINDSET 
    I've had this problem for years where there's a task that I need to do but don't know how to do it and it's complicated or hard and because I don't have the answer there, I give up pretty much instantly or if I look at the task and think I won't be able to figure it out (which sometimes has been...

    Setting goals in 2023 and non fastlane stuff

    MINDSET 
    Hi everyone, first of all, Merry Christmas to you all. As we're approaching 2023, I had some stuff on my mind. As the years go by, I'm not be happy with how the year went in terms of progress made / accomplishments but the weird thing is that I don't know what I want so I'm stuck in this cycle...

    Entrepreneurship and money doesn't solve your problems?

    MINDSET 
    This is something that was on my mind lately, I was thinking to myself "even if I made 100k per month my life would pretty much be the same because I would be doing the same shit everyday", nothing really changes the more money you make if you're still working on the same business / job, or...

    Wrong mindset, do you even bother trying to be an entrepreneur?

    MINDSET 
    Hey MJ I was curious, what is your opinion on people who don't currently have the mental fortitude to become an entrepreneur or the right qualities, like discipline, focus etc. Would you suggest that they don't get into the entrepreneurship game at all because it's probably not for them, or...

    Is getting great results unrealistic in a 30 day window?

    MARKETING 
    So I'm doing work for clients running their ads, and I noticed a trend which I guess that every marketer running paid ads for clients has. Which is that, if you don't get great results compared to where they were previously within 30 days, especially if they aren't a large business, then they...

    How to fix poor attention to detail and focus?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hey all, so this is something I think I've always naturally struggled with but in the last couple of years it has gotten quite worse. I think part of the problem is that I can accidently rush through work without realizing and my focus is pretty bad (this is probably because the tasks I work on...

    Do you have low energy everyday when it comes to work or business?

    MINDSET 
    I was curious as this is something that I've been experiencing ever since I got into this biz journey, but I noticed even when I'm working my normal job I'll feel tired / low energy, and especially when it comes to working on a business related task. If I go and do a fun activity, whether it's...

    IDEA 
    To I've been thinking about this today and I think I might have the answer but was looking to get feedback on it.

    A question on taking responsibility

    MINDSET 
    Hey all, One thing that came across my mind recently was whether taking full responsibility made sense. For example, these days the popular mindset is that "everything is your fault" I was wondering from an an accuracy perspective and even just a realistic one whether it made sense? If for...

    Hiring people for cheaper but expecting a similar result, delusional?

    MARKETING 
    Hey all, Been a while since I posted but there's something I've been really curious about and I can't figure it out. When it comes to outsourcing jobs that are difficult sometimes people will hire people where rates are a lot cheaper than the big 4 though depending on what the job is it can...

    Facebook Ads: Why would cost per initiate checkout be higher than cost per purchase?

    MARKETING 
    Hi all I had a simple question as above and I cannot figure it out, and can't find any information on it. From what I understand cost per purchase should cost you the most because it's the most valuable action. I had one where CPIC was $60 but CPP was $20. Any ideas? Keep in mind there was only...

    Do you think social proof makes a difference for facebook ads?

    MARKETING 
    I'm curious about this, so my dropshipping store is doing crap in terms of profitability, my margins were to low to cover my costs. Even with a really high average order value it wasn't enough to save the campaign. So I raised the price and have had a few people buying a different price points...
